30 years in the water:
Sharks have been on this planet
for hundreds of millions of
years, prowling the ocean's
depths and feasting on whatev-
er they can find. Shark Week, the
annual summer event on Dis-
covery, hasn't been around for
quite that long, but it's still hit-
ting a milestone this year that's
pretty impressive.
Discovery's Shark Week cele-
brates 30 years this month, with
a week's worth of predatory
programming beginning Sun-
day, July 22, and running
through Sunday, July 29. As usu-
al, the week is filled with shows
and specials that explore, high-
light and attempt to understand
the mysterious predators of the
deep, along with some more fun
specials that bring celebrities
into the mix to put a bit of a
more lighthearted spin on
things — check local listings for
when specials are airing
throughout the week.
In a huge crossover event, the
human "sharks" from ABC's
"Shark Tank" are giving their
namesakes their due in "Shark
Tank Meets Shark Week," which is
airing through the week. Venture
capitalists Mark Cuban, Barbara
Corcoran, Daymond John and Kev-
in O'Leary are each getting out of
the tank and visiting a different
oceanic organization fighting to
protect at-risk sharks and their
habitat. They're joined by fellow
shark Robert Herjavec in the finale
where, as a group, they'll decide
which group is most deserving of a
$50,000 donation.
Funny family: CBS is beefing
up its comedy lineup. The network
already has two of TV's biggest
comedy hits with "The Big Bang
Theory" and "Young Sheldon," but
it isn't resting on its laurels, with a
slate of new comedies ordered for
the upcoming TV season, including
a "Murphy Brown" revival and
new series "The Neighborhood,"
headlined by Cedric the Entertain-
er ("Barbershop," 2002).
"Fam" is another sitcom re-
cently given a full-series order
and scheduled to premiere this
fall. It focuses on a young woman
who gets engaged to a wonderful
man with an upstanding family
and who begins building a per-
fect, upstanding life with him —
that is, until her train wreck
younger sister comes to live with
her to get away from their equally
off-the-rails father.
Nina Dobrev ("The Perks of Be-
ing a Wallflower," 2012) head-
lines a standout cast that also in-
cludes Tone Bell ("Whitney"),
Odessa Adlon ("Nashville"),
Sheryl Lee Ralph ("Sister Act 2:
Back in the Habit," 1993) and Bri-
an Stokes Mitchell ("Mr. Robot").
CBS's comedy lineup will
have a number of new offerings
this fall, including new sitcom
"Fam." Watch for it once the
new TV season gets underway
in September.
